Volume IV, Chapter 25, Mysterious Map

When everyone saw Kong Ming coming out of the quiet room, the expression on his face was completely refreshed, and they knew that Kong Ming must have gained a lot from this retreat, so they naturally congratulated Kong Ming one after another. ,!

Kong Ming was in a really good mood, so a group of people headed towards Jubao Mountain. Although I came a little later today, the box on the top floor was still reserved for Kong Ming and the others, and when Kong Ming and the others arrived, the auction had been going on for a while, and three or four items had been sold, but none of them were anything that Kong Ming cared about.

As the auction progresses, as long as there is something that Kong Ming cares about, he will make a bid. Since the things that Kong Ming bid for are not treasures, but some materials and other items with very special uses, the competition is not very fierce, and with the financial resources of the Kong family, it is not a problem to bid for it at all.

When the auction was in the afternoon, Kong Ming had already spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins to auction back four things for the Kong family, and finally gave an account to the family. However, what is needed in the wild forest has not appeared until now.

After a while, I saw Liang Xingyu walk up to the auction seat, arched his hand to the surroundings and said, "The following auction item will be presided over by the old man for everyone." The value of this item is big or big, and it depends on how you think of it. Anyone who knows more about the old man should know that usually the items introduced by the old man are mostly treasure maps, but this time the situation is a little special, because the items in this auction, although it is indeed a map, but in a strict sense, it is not a treasure map, but a map of a mysterious ruins! This map was accidentally discovered by a mercenary group from Youzhou, and the map recorded a mysterious place in Youzhou, but unfortunately the strength of this mercenary group was limited, and it was unable to break the prohibition of that mysterious place, and it was not able to really enter the ruins to explore. However, judging from the various traces on the periphery, this ruin is very likely to be an elven city left over from the era of elven civilization! As we all know, although the elven civilization in the past was very glorious, the climate of the Youzhou territory was bitter and cold, and it was not suitable for the survival of the elves, so I have never heard of the city ruins of the elf civilization found in the Youzhou territory! If this map really records a ruins of the elven civilization, then it is definitely a major discovery in the archaeological world! And what kind of historical heritage will be left in an elf city? Of course, the old man would like to remind you that the elven civilization is too long away from the present time, even if an elven city was so prosperous in the past, it will definitely become dilapidated now, even if this kind of ruins can be found, but the possibility of nothing in the end still exists. Therefore, the old man will say that the value of this map is big and big, and it is not big or big! As for whether or not this ruin can be found, and what kind of harvest can be obtained in the end, it is really only left to fate! Therefore, the old man advises you to say that when bidding for this item, please consider in advance, this auction may have the risk of nothing! The 'Wanbao Club' honest auction will never deceive everyone on this point!"

Liang Xingyu explained a large number of words in one breath, and the atmosphere in the auction hall was really mobilized by him, and many people really wanted to try their luck, because if they could really find a city ruins of an elven civilization, even if they found nothing in the ruins, they could win a great reputation. However, after Liang Xingyu quoted the starting price for this map, most people gave up the idea of bidding.

The reason is very simple, because the starting price of this map, whose value cannot be determined at all, is as high as 200,000 gold coins!

Spending 200,000 gold coins to gamble on luck, and even the worst result is likely to be nothing, and there are really few people who have the courage to do so. Many people have already begun to curse in their hearts, did a certain mercenary group that took out this map for auction fall into the eyes of money, and actually offered such a high starting price!

However, the people of Youzhou are fierce, and the number of mercenary groups is as large as a cow's hair, and it is impossible to guess what kind of mercenary group this mercenary group refers to, even if everyone wants to scold, they can't find the specific object of swearing.

But for Kong Ming, this map is a must-have!

The Confucian family's plan to develop its strength in the wild forest is going very smoothly, and with Kong Ming's amazing performance in the wild forest in the past, most of the races in the wild forest are willing to deal with the Kong family represented by Kong Ming. However, in order to truly gain a foothold in the wild forest, it is not enough to have the support of the wild races, at least to establish a good relationship with those indigenous races. And the elven race is the representative of the original race in the savage forest!

Elves are arrogant by nature and accustomed to following traditions, so they have never liked to deal with humans, and it is difficult to cooperate with them. However, this map, which is related to the ruins of the elven civilization, can be a stepping stone to establish a good relationship with the elves!

Because after the trial journey of Luofeng Gorge, there is already a rumor circulating in the wild forest, that is, the elves have a holy relic left outside, and the elf clan has been keeping it a secret, just to get the holy relic back. Otherwise, how can you explain the elven clan who have never paid attention to Luofeng Gorge, why are even people in the royal family sent out to participate in the trials of Luofeng Gorge?

The elves found nothing in the Luofeng Gorge, and the rumors even claimed that the holy relics of the elves had been lost for a long time, but they were afraid that they were no longer in the wild forest, but in those elven cities in the outside world. However, the elven civilization is tens of thousands of years away from now, no matter how glorious the city was before, it must be deserted now, plus the entire Tian Yuan Continent has been dominated by humans, is it still possible for the elven race to leave the wild forest and visit the ruins located in the outside world?

Whether the rumors are true or false, outsiders can't tell whether they are true or not, but the Kong family has received an exact source, that is, the elves are really very interested in the ruins of the city in the past, and they have been secretly collecting information on the major elf ruins for a long time.

If the elven civilization has really established a city in Youzhou, then this city must have a very special feature for the elves, and if you really get this map, you are not afraid that the elves will not be interested. As long as you rely on this map to establish a good relationship with the elven clan, then the development of the Kong family in the wild forest will naturally go to the next level!

Therefore, even if it is to pay the price of hundreds of thousands of gold coins for this, it is imperative for the Kong family. After all, this kind of thing involving a strategic level is not something that can be measured by a mere gold coin.

The starting price of this map is 200,000 gold coins, which is enough to scare off most bidders, and Kong Ming is happy to see it!

In short, when Liang Xingyu quoted the auction price of 200,000 gold coins, the scene was a little deserted for a while, and no one was willing to bid. The organizer sent Liang Xingyu to preside over this auction, but he was also afraid that the auction would be cold, so he had to rely on Liang Xingyu's experience.

Liang Xingyu saw that the scene was deserted, and was about to agitate his three-inch incorruptible tongue and incite the atmosphere in the venue, but a person made a bid in time, and shouted out the price of 300,000 gold coins in one breath!

Kong Ming felt a little strange, because it was not he who shouted this price. Moreover, the price of 300,000 gold coins was shouted at once, which was obviously shocking the audience, indicating that the bidder was determined to win such a cold auction item!

Kong Ming was not afraid that someone would participate in the bidding, but when he heard the voice shouting "300,000 gold coins", he immediately judged that this voice was actually a representative from the "Tower of Babel"!

The "Tower of Babel" represents the power of the miscellaneous family, and since it is called a miscellaneous family, it is natural that they are interested in everything, so it is not unusual for some people to be keen to excavate the ruins.

Kong Ming and the representatives of the "Tower of Babel" competed, knowing that the strength of the "Tower of Babel" was strong, and it was not easy to overwhelm them financially. However, the "Tower of Babel" participated in this "Wanbao Meeting", and they had their ambitions to obtain, but it didn't refer to this map.

Kong Ming had some doubts in his heart, and instead of bidding immediately, he turned to Locke and asked, "Locke, what is the representative of the 'Tower of Babel' participating in the auction this time?"

Locke bowed, but his expression was still blank, and he said very plainly: "This time, the representative of the 'Tower of Babel' who came to Liangzhou called himself an ancient layman, and his reputation is not very loud!"

As soon as Locke said this, Eugene next to him slapped his thigh and said, "It's actually this old fellow of the Ancient Monks? That's really not easy to do, because he will definitely become the biggest competitor in this auction!"

Kong Ming asked, "You Lao Zhi Dao, the origin of this ancient layman, please also say it clearly!"

Eugene said: "This ancient layman, even in the power of the miscellaneous family, belongs to a very strange branch, and is the backbone member of the 'Earth Digging Society'. And this 'Digging Society' is composed of a group of fanatical archaeological obsessives, and it is said that six or seven out of ten ancient ruins on the Tian Yuan Continent were discovered by members of the 'Digging Society'. It is estimated that the reason why this map dares to offer such a high starting price is because the owner of this map, Zhilu Dao Ancient Layman, participated in this auction, and he is not afraid that he will not take the bait! This Ancient Monk is a well-known fanatic, and when he hears the words 'ruins map', he must be regardless of the price. Even if he doesn't dare to use the resources of the Tower of Babel, he can bid privately, even if he goes bankrupt!"

Whether it's a monthly ticket, a recommendation vote or something else, only everyone's vote is the motivation for me to keep updating my codewords!
